Overall I wasn’t quite sure what I was meant to be seeing. Was it a vehicle to entertain family and friends of the choir? A preview to gain support for a full staging? A vehicle to showcase some fine voices from a multiplicity of genres?

Cock, Coca-Cola and Cocaine. Quinoa, QANTAS and Krispy Kreme. Krauts, cops and killing.

Under the direction of Megan Spindle, the stories engage us with the feminine as we might never have seen it before and the vagina; beautiful, violent, sexy, awkward and gorgeous.

You can try as you might to not like it, but resistance is futile, because CATS is a wondrous thing. It is such an indefatigable torrent of superb choreographic dexterity, theatrical inventiveness and musical joie de vivre that I defy anyone to leave the theatre without a smile on their face.

Railway Wonderland took the audience from the 1940s to the present time and back as easily as a train between country towns. It took the audience on an emotional ride that had it laughing, clapping, and, sometimes, seriously silent.

There is a new Lord of the Dance and although his dancing might match the great Flatley it is hard to tell as you never got the chance to immerse yourself in his fabulous foot work.

Kit Brookman’s new play, A Rabbit for Kim Jong-Il, appears to be a charming, absurdist work about the covert appropriation of a colony of gigantic German rabbits by a North Korean emissary. But it is actually based on a bizarre, but true story.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company
Based on an Australian literature classic, My Brilliant Career is destined to become an Australian theatrical classic.
Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
Blind faith and rational belief are always sparring partners in dramatic conflict and so it is here with the power play tinged with superstition and salaciousness.
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
